Dr Mattia Frontini has recently been awarded his first BHF Senior Research Fellowship (2019-2024) and has been interviewed for our 'Spotlight on...' article series - read more about his research here.

I am currently a Senior Research Associate in Prof Willem Ouwehand’s group, where I lead a team responsible for the isolation of healthy blood cell samples for the BluePrint consortium.

My 2-year Career Development Fellowship by the BHF Cambridge Centre of Excellence has focused on the interplay between chronic inflammation and myeloid cells production.

This is an important field of study because diseases that share chronic inflammation often present an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and exposure to chronic inflammation trigger an increased production of white blood cells with prothrombotic phenotype.
